Meanwhile in the Orient

Stop press: my kids just called to tell me they went to the Museum of Science in Boston and were subjected to a movie called Arabia which they described as the lousiest film they have seen about the Arab world, essentially a propaganda production for Saudi Arabia, the kingdom of democracy, equity and freedom. But then again, Saudi Arabia is the US's best friend and Obama has been known to value King Abdullah's "wisdom and insights".
